Running/casual shoes
Anyone have advice for good packable shoes that can double as light workout (treadmill or 2-3 mile jog) shoes and casual shoes. I have always carried some decent running shoes, but man, they take up half my bag. Looking for something that collapses well, but still somewhat sturdy and comfortable. Any suggestions?

You might get away with non-running shoes on a treadmill, they're pretty springy (or grass, or a high school track), but do your future self a favor and use the right gear if you run on pavement.

I found them at some outdoor store on a layover in Aspen a few years ago and now they're everywhere. I've run a few 10k races in them, and I highly recommend them.

Who needs to exercise. Just get a couple of jabs and all is good. There must have been a legitimate reason the gyms were closed for a year +.. Obviously cardiovascular health is and always was overrated. Gov. Newsom told me so.
